Spirals
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dot at the outer end of the model, on its right side, and wind round and inward to the middle.
- Trace the single dashed spiral the same way, then draw new spirals alone along the band.
- Each spiral is a separate shape: finish in the middle, lift the pencil and start the next one on the outside.
What this worksheet teaches
Drawing a spiral from a model is a planning task: the child must choose the outer size, keep turning in the same direction and make each ring smaller while keeping the gaps open. Large bands give a 5–6 year old room for relaxed movements, which helps the rings stay round. The same careful, controlled curve is needed later for round letters and numbers, and the task also builds patience and focus.
Play idea
Whirlpools: every spiral is a whirlpool in the sea. Your child counts the rings in each spiral and tries to give the next one the same number of turns as the model.
